We call our Nordic tipis “A home from home”. A development of the traditional Sami “kåta”, it has been used as a home, not a shelter, by generation after generation. And it continues to be so. In this episode of the Tentipiblog, we meet Gina and Koen who made the quite unorthodox decision to move out into a Safir 9 cp, still keeping their regular day-to-day at their offices.

In the previous episode of the Tentipi Blog, outdoor photographer and writer Tim Gent took us out to his top places for canoe camping in Scotland. Now we invite you to join our “coffee break” and to hear Tim’s top places for canoe camping in Scandinavia!

Ever tried canoe camping? Packing your gear in a canoe takes a lot of weight off your shoulders (literarily speaking) and gives you a fantastic mobility – not to mention the experience itself of transporting yourself on water. Of course you need to find a nice lake or river to start off your adventure. And we know exactly who could help you find that!

In this issue of the Tentipi Blog we’re embarking on a most unique adventure, taking us by kayak from the icy shores of Greenland, across the north Atlantic to the cost of north Scotland, 1200 nautical miles (2200 kilometres) from the starting point.

How many people can you fit into a two-person tent? Two of course! …right? Well, it may seem as a no-brainer, but by some reason that question was asked by of one of our employees during a Tentipi staff meeting about a year ago.

When temperatures drop and nature turns white it’s the perfect time to bring out your Tentipi Nordic tipi for some wintertime camping. They’re not called “Nordic tipis” for nothing! Camping wintertime is fun, but it also require some extra attention from the user, so we sent Tentipi PR manager Torsten Gabrielsson out in the Swedish winter to show you some tips.
